Get a copy of the "New Square Foot Gardening" or research "lasagna
gardening" - much less work and far fewer weeds.

Not much - basically flat, but not like pristine lawn flat - read that
as "lots of lawn potholes"

Ahhh...memories. My Mom grew up on a farm, so we always had a huge
veggie garden. Weeding was the kids' job. Gawd I *hated* doing that on
Saturday mornings when the rest of my friends were out playing. What
was fun was shooting critters that tried to steal from us with my Dad as
dusk

well, not exactly, we had a garden that spanned the back of the property
about 25 feet deep. I just had to weed that :) It was split into 5
sections so I only had to do one section a day :)

So wait - you had to mow an acre with an *18"* deck?
THAT sucks. Didn't even know they made them that small.

back in the 80's we used to have an 18 inch electric cordless mower. The
battery died pretty quick on it, so my dad replaced it with a deep cycle
marine battery. We had an acre of land and it would mow half the acre on a
charge. My dad thought it was great because I could mow at 6:00am without

Lawnmowing:
Push mowers (rotating horizontal blades) work well regardless of
length of grass IF KEPT SHARP. HAve the baldes sharpened twice a
season. Costs about 15 bucks each time, but well worth it. Anyone who
sharpens axe blades or saw blades will do it. Since they leave the
clippings in place,
Well, my suggestion would be to by a middle of the road gas mower from any
of the major manufacturers. Before each new season, chance the air filter,
change the oil, and sharpen the blade. Do that, and the thing should last
you for years and give you no trouble whatsoever.

Not completely sworn off them. Just looking at options. If it turns out it's
a super hassle to go electric, we'll probably wind up with gas again. But,
I'm definitely interested in researching the electric option. The more
expensive ones are cordless. Which would definitely be nice. But, I'm not

Are you completely sworn off of gas mowers Deanna? I've got an older one
that starts first pull every timeand i think newer mowers have become
pretty much hassle free, with simple yearly maintenance.
I just know that when I see some poor sap trying to mow her front yard while

Okay, um, yah. First off, I don't have that kind of money. Secondly, you

picturing flying plastic bits galore.

Well, if you've got $1200, about the coolest electric I've seen is the
RoboMower. My neighbor has one and it rocks: On a set schedule it
drives out of its charging base, m
Buy yourself a Murray Pushmower at Walmart for ~$100 and be happy.

Okay, I am fed up with dealing with my cranky gas lawn mower. It's supposed
to be self-propelled, but every year we get it tuned up and it's
self-propelled for about 1 lawn mowing and then that part break
